@steverugi try selecting/highlighting My Building and magic just happens :)
thank you @Nigel
unfortunately, as I mentioned in my message, I can only rename
My Buildingbut how do I add another IfcBuilding or, even better, a new IfcSite in my IfcProject? thanks for your helpWhat I do for those Cases is creating an Empty Object, place it inside the Container (Collection) you want to, and then Assign it the correct Class to it.
Please be aware that depending on which IFC viewer you're using some spatial containers may not be fully supported. The Schema supports many Sites in a Project and many Buildings in a Site. Also you don't need to use Buildings you can use External Spatial elements. But eventually someone more versed in the Schema can add to this.
@camontellano
useful hint, thanks
You can also just duplicate the empty object, BlenderBIM should automatically create the collection.
@steverugi sorry I didn't read your question properly, as @JanF said duplicating the empty works but I think the Spatial Editor could be improved to do this
You can also select the IfcSite empty and go into the Aggregates subpanel which has a button to add a new building.
nice one! thanks @Gorgious
